The myth that roses are only for girls might be true. Is it?
Perhaps this dessert is more likely looking like your typical dessert pour filles (Dessert for Girls)

I had enough time to make this Coconut, Raspberry Tart with Crystallized Rose Petals. Initially made for a friend, we liked it so much that I made it again. Since the theme of this Sugar High Friday event is featuring Flower Power, I thought Roses!

Et voilà ! When I told you I liked red as a color! Recipe will follow.

Great minds think alike! I too love (and made) candied rose petals. But this tart is so much more. The coconut alone makes me want to eat it all as coconut is one of my very favourite things in the world. And the colours are so pretty. We girls are so very lucky to be able to love such pretty colours.

Such a beautiful creation!
Even only looking at it, I can feel the rose petals melt on my tongue.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful world of food!
I am addicted to your blog, even if I don’t comment on each and every post, I look it up and savour to no end. What pleasure!

That looks utterly beautiful – the crystallized rose petals add the *perfect* touch. I’d love to make this for my friend for her upcoming birthday! Though I won’t be able to mimic your perfection, I’d love to try at least! Could you provide the recipe?
